No One Gets Out Alive

Tor Books have released the cover and back cover blurb for the new Adam Nevill novel No One Gets Out Alive. Scheduled for an October release date, No One Gets Out Alive is the story of Stephanie Booth, cash strapped and desperate as she takes new lodgings. Soon she hears whispers behind the fireplace and women crying in neighbouring rooms. Yet when her landlord and his cousin enter the picture, the danger exceeds her darkest imaginings.

Scardiff up the stakes

Early bird tickets for Scardiff are still available for a remarkable £6.66, and anyone that buys one between now and 31 July will automatically be entered into a prize draw to win Adam Nevill’s entire back catalogue. Scardiff is an annual horror expo that is held in the Welsh capital on Sunday 19 October. To buy your ticket and grab your chance to win this great prize, visit the Scardiff website.

Leviathan rises from the depths

Leviathan: The Story of Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser 2 started life as a fan project paying homage to a pair of classic horror films. However, over time it grew to take on a talented cast of writers. Now, the cast and crew are delighted to announce that Clive Barker himself is on board with the project. An exclusive interview with Barker about all things Cenobite was recently filmed and will be included in the final cut of the film which will be released in the autumn. This Is Horror will bring you further release date details when we have them.
